Why We Think We Are Losers (But Actually Aren't)

  • The inner critic exists due to past troubling situations, often in childhood.
  • This critic is formed as a coping mechanism to make sense of these situations.
  • The critic is not an accurate reflection of our worth, but a response to past pain.
  • We can choose to acknowledge this critic, thank it for its role, and then let it go.
  • We are not 'losers' or 'bad', but individuals who have experienced difficult circumstances.
